Making the move from high school to college can be challenging for a student. But if you are a student
with autism spectrum disorder or have a nonverbal or neurosocial disorder, bridging the gap between
high school and college can seem especially intimidating. Bridges to Adelphi is a fee-based program
that offers comprehensive, personalized, academic, social and vocational support services to help
you make a smooth transition from high schooland put you on the road to college success. Because
Adelphi prides itself on being inclusive, our program also promotes awareness and understanding of
neurosocial disorders throughout the campus community, through education, training and collaboration
with University programs, faculty, staff and students.

12 Collections are maintained in the libraries at the Manhattan, Hauppauge and Hudson Valley
Centers in support of the academic programs offered at those sites.

and makes accessible the historical records of Adelphi University documenting the history of the
University, its students, faculty and administration.
Special Collections houses and provides access to Adelphi Universitys rare books, manuscripts and
other unique, rare and primary source materials covering a wide variety of subjects and historical
periods. Among the notable special collections at Adelphi are those on the English radical political
journalist William Cobbett; the satirist and reformer William Hone; the pioneering dancer and
choreographer Ruth St. Denis; and former New York Lieutenant Governor Timothy Woodruff.
Areas of particular strength include the Spanish Civil War, Panama Canal history, the American
antislavery movement, childrens illustrated books, and the social, political and cultural history of
Long Island. Among recently added collections are the Horace Hagedorn Papers and the archives
of former Long Island Congresswomen Carolyn McCarthy.

group study for current Adelphi students. There are 10 studios; two have wheelchair accessibility.
Studios can be reserved for group study through the online reservation system for two hours daily.

devices (including tablets, laptops and smartphones) or check out a laptop or an iPad at the Access
Services Desk.
Quiet Study Areas

located on the first floor and are designated quiet rooms. Study carrels are located throughout
the stack levels and provide quiet areas for individual study. The McMillan Viewing Rooms are
available for viewing media or quiet study.
University Library Borrowing Privileges

Borrowing: Books from the open stacks are charged out to students with a current Adelphi
University ID card.
Loan Period: The standard loan period for most books is, with a few exceptions, 28 days. Extended
loan periods are available to doctoral students. Reference books and periodicals do not circulate.
Checking for Availability: All library materials are listed in ALICAT and AlicatPLUS, the libraries
automated online catalog. ALICAT is also used in the circulation process so that the availability
of materials can be checked. AlicatPLUS may be checked by author, title, subject, call number,
keyword and other access points. Just select the appropriate choice. Library materials that are
available for circulation are marked on shelf in the status field on the screen. Library materials
that have been borrowed by other library users display a date due on the screen. These materials
may be placed on hold. See the sections on Holds.
Limitations: Each undergraduate student is limited to 10 books and each graduate and doctoral
student to 15 books checked out at any one time. The total checkout for all students is five books
per Library of Congress Classification Call Number.
How to Return Books: Books may be returned to the Access Services Desk at Swirbul, to the book
slots in the library or to the circulation desks of the libraries in Hauppauge, Manhattan and Hudson
Valley. When Swirbul Library is closed, books may be returned to the exterior book drop.
Overdue Charges: There is a grace period of three days for overdue circulating books. After three 13
days, there is a charge of 20 cents per day for the first 10 days. On the 11th day, the charge is
$1.00 per day from the date the item was due to the date it is returned. The maximum overdue
charge for each circulating book is $100.00. DVD recordings are charged at $1.00 per day. The
maximum overdue charge for each circulating DVD is $50.00. Reserve books are charged at 50
cents per hour for the first two hours, then $1 per hour. The maximum overdue charge for each
reserve book is $100.00.
Renewals: If no other library borrower has requested them, books may be renewed online or by
bringing them to any of the three Access Services desks (Swirbul, Hauppauge or Manhattan).
Online renewals can take place from one week to the day that a book is due. Materials may not
be renewed if a hold has been placed or if there are outstanding fines. Renewals by telephone and
mail are not permitted.
Recalls: All books are subject to recall by library staff after 14 days. When a book has been
recalled, the borrower will receive a Recall Notice through Adelphi email; the book must be
returned by the new due date. The charge for overdue recalled books is $1.00 per day.
Searches for Missing Books: Requests for searches are accepted at the Access Services desk for
books that are listed in ALICAT as on shelf but are not found in the stacks. The Access Services
staff will then conduct a thorough search and notify the user through Adelphi email regarding the
status of the item.
Holds: If a book is checked out to another library borrower, a hold may be placed on that item. The
patron will be notified through the Adelphi email of its return and will be given one week to come
in to borrow it.
ConnectNY: ConnectNY is a unified online catalog of 18 academic libraries in New York State,
with combined holdings of over five million books. Before filling in an Interlibrary Loan request for
a book in ALICAT, please click on the ConnectNY (C-NY) icon on the ALICAT screen. If the book
you want is available at any other member library, you can request it yourself. ConnectNY overdue
fine(s) are $1.00 per day for each book. The maximum overdue fine is $100.00 per book. The
loan period for C-NY books is 42 days with one renewal.
InterLibrary Loan: If you are unable to find the journal or book title you need in the University
catalog, or if the item is not owned by the University, you may request that it be obtained for your

RESIDENTIAL LIFE AND HOUSING 31
Overview
The mission of the Office of Residential Life and Housing is to support the development of our
students in a safe, inclusive community. We encourage a commitment to leadership, tolerance
and citizenship through purposeful social and educational opportunities by providing programs,
services and facilities that contribute to the intellectual, social and cultural development of students.
During the academic year, we sponsor more than 450 seminars, workshops and events, which are
led by faculty, staff and off-campus educators. Examples of some topics that have been included
are interpersonal relationships, interviewing techniques, cultural diversity and stress management.
Whether a student chooses to live on or off campus, the University encourages everyone to become
part of the campus community and participate in the vast array of resources available to all.
Selecting a place to live is perhaps one of the most important decisions you are about to
make. Your new home environment will enhance and develop your social, cultural, intellectual,
recreational and academic experience. We hope you will be an active participant in community
programs and that you will make every effort to get to know a wide variety of residents from
diverse backgrounds. For information about our seven on-campus residence halls and off-campus
options, visit housing.adelphi.edu.
ON-CAMPUS HOUSING
There are seven unique residential halls on campus. Each residence hall on campus is supervised
by a full-time residence hall director (RHD) who is committed professionally and personally to
the concept of the residence hall as a center of learning. The RHD lives and works in the hall
throughout the year and supervises a staff of trained graduate and undergraduate resident
assistants (RAs). In addition, each building has hall attendants who register guests before they may
enter the building during evening and late-night hours.
To live in University-operated housing, all students must sign a Residence Hall Agreement, be
registered for classes and pay a nontransferable and nonrefundable deposit to the University
with their agreement to request a space in housing for the ensuing agreement period. The
deposit is $300, of which $200 will be applied to your student account and $100 will be
retained as a damage deposit. For the complete Residence Hall Agreement, visit
housing.adelphi.edu/agreement.
All Garden City campus resident students are required to purchase a meal plan offered by
Adelphi University Dining Services. For more information about the meal plans, visit

will observe 24-hour quiet hours during University-designated examination periods.

common areas (corridors, lounges, etc.). Residents are obligated to report dangerous or
disruptive activities to the residence hall staff. Outside doors may not be propped open.
9. Sidewalks, entrances, passages, elevators, lobbies, stairways, corridors and halls must not be
obstructed, encumbered or used for any purpose other than entrance and exit to and from the
premises.

your door as you leave to prevent the fire from spreading.
11. Fire drills will be conducted in your residence hall to familiarize you with evacuation
guidelines. You must consider all alarms as real and leave the building in a timely manner

Room Security
16. Student room doors should be kept locked at all times and window(s) should be secured.
17. Search of rooms: Nothing in the University-student relationship or the Residence Hall
Agreement will expressly or implicitly authorize University officials to permit police or other
government officials to search a students room without a warrant. The dean of student affairs,
or a designee, may search a students room only with the permission of the student, except
when it is reasonably believed that a violation of campus policy or law has occurred or when it
is deemed an emergency.
18. Access: When a representative of the Division of Student Affairs, facilities management or
public safety seeks access to a residents room to determine occupancy for maintenance and
repairs, the occupant will be notified in advance of such entry. A professional staff member
in the Office of Residential Life and Housing will be notified in advance when entrance is
necessary by a representative of the dean of student affairs or the assistant vice president of
public safety. A student request to facilities management for repairs and permission for entry
constitutes an invitation for room entry for that purpose. If no permission is given, facilities
management must make arrangements directly with the resident student. Residential life and
housing staff will conduct health and safety inspections at least once a month.
19. The University reserves the right to remove from the students room any item not in conformity
37
with University policies.
20. Keys: Each resident is given a room key and may be given an outside door key. Residents are
expected to carry their room keys and Adelphi ID card at all times. Suite residents are also
given a suite key. Room keys are not to be loaned or duplicated. This includes ID cards used as
access keys to buildings and/or rooms.
If the resident student loses any key, the lock will be changed and new keys will be issued to
the residents of that room. The cost of the lock change will be billed to the student who lost the
key. Keys must be returned to the residence hall staff member when the resident vacates the
room or when directed to hand in keys by a member of the residential life and housing staff.
Failure to return the room key will result in an automatic lock change. The student who fails to
return the key will be billed for the lock change.
Students who are locked out of their room should call the resident assistant (RA) on duty. If
the RA on duty is not available or if there is no RA on duty, you may contact any RA in the
building or the residence hall director (RHD) during the day. Students should not expect that
a staff member will be available to open a room as RAs may be in class and the RHD may
be unavailable. The University imposes a fine based on the number of times that a student
is locked out during an academic year. The first lockout is done with a written warning, the
second is $5.00, the third is $10.00, the fourth is $20.00 and $50.00 for each lockout
thereafter. Should you lose your key, you must inform a staff member immediately.
Room Usage
21. The University provides routine housekeeping services only for lounges, corridors, stairways
and common bathrooms. The student is responsible for the care and cleaning of his or her
room. Students who reside in suites with semiprivate baths are also responsible for the care
and cleaning of their bathroom.
22. On occupying or vacating an assigned room, the resident is required to check the condition
of the room and its furnishings with the staff member on forms provided. The University holds
each student responsible for loss or damage to property beyond normal wear and tear and
cleaning.

replacement cost.
